Health and Wellbeing Board

Health and Wellbeing Boards were established by local councils as a requirement of the Health and Social Care Act 2012.

What is the Health and Wellbeing board?

The Health and Wellbeing Board is designed to enable the council and key partners to work together to improve the health and wellbeing of our local population and to reduce health inequalities. In Camden, the board aims to identify local health needs and priorities and making sure commissioning plans reflect the findings of Camden’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) and communicate and engage with residents, about how to achieve the best possible quality of life.

VAC’s role

VAC has been working to support the work of the Health and Well being Board by taking an active part in the Health and Well Being Engagement Group.
